A new video by rapper Snoop Dogg features the rapper in a world of clowns. At the climax of the video, he assassinates a clown version of Donald Trump, named Ronald Klump, painted with an orange face.

The new video for Lavender is the artist's attempt to make a political statement. In a comment to Billboard, Snoop Dogg explains, "I feel like it’s a lot of people making cool records, having fun, partying, but nobody’s dealing with the real issue with this f**king clown as president, and the sh-- that we dealing with out here, so I wanted to take time out to push pause on a party record and make one of these records for the time being."

Snoop Dogg was one of the celebrities who swore he'd move out of the country if Donald Trump were elected president, and who was furious about Trump's win. "Making a song that was not controversial but real -- real to the voice of the people who don’t have a voice," he explains. "It’s not like [co-director Jesse Wellens] told me to make a record to express what I’m expressing on the song, but there were certain things that he said that brought that feeling, to make me want to express that when I was writing."

The song opens with a white man in clown face (Michael Rapaport) in a suburban clown home getting up for work. He goes to the bathroom to brush his teeth and get dressed, then makes his way into the kitchen where his clown family is having breakfast. His wife is cooking with a baby on her hip, his other son is eating a bowl of 'Snoop Loops' cereal, and the annoyed clown father eats and watches the news.

A clown version of Donald Trump, with a blonde comb-over, red tie and orange make-up, is on the news announcing he 'wants to deport all doggs'.

The clown dad gets in his car and heads to work while smoking pot, and a clown cop stops him. Upon spotting a water pistol in the dad's briefcase, the clown cop shoots the dad with a glitter gun. A young black man (no clown make-up) stands by filming it with his phone.

Snoop Dogg is watching the clownery on television at home, then finally goes out to assassinate Ronald Klump. At the end of the video, Klump is still alive, chained up, and being denied the joint that's being passed around among the non-clowns.

"When I be putting sh** out, I don’t ever expect or look for a reaction. I just put it out because I feel like it’s something that’s missing. Any time I drop something, I’m trying to fill in a void," the rapper explains. "It’s a lot of clown sh-t going on that we could just sit and talk on the phone all day about, but it’s a few issues that we really wanted to lock into [for the video] like police, the president and just life in general."
